bishbosh Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Can anyone tell me if the ports on the reservoir are 1/8 BSPP or BSPT please? Google hasn't helped unfortunately. The compressor is one of these (image pinched from the web): Ta muchly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 Female ports will be BSPP (Parallel) male fittings could be either BSPP or BSPT (Taper) you can tell by looking. I've never seen a BSPT female thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
